2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans (chick peas)
cooking spray
1 tablespoon cajun seasoning, heaping
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
cayenne, to taste
Drain garbanzos in a strainer and rinse well with cool water. Shake to help remove water. Let sit to drain while proceeding.
Cover a rimmed cookie sheet or shallow casserole dish with foil and then cooking spray. Pour garbanzos on the foil and spread them into a single layer. Take a few sheets of paper towel and gently press over the top of the beans just to remove any extra liquid- speeds cooking time too.
Spray top of beans with cooking spray and sprinkle seasonings over the beans. Shake pan to help distribute the seasoning and make sure the beans are all in a single layer.
Place pan in an oven and set to 350 F- no need to preheat. Use lowest rack on oven and return every 15-20 minutes or so to shake the pan so nothing burns. Be gentle or they may spill over the sides. Cook until beans are browned and crispy. About 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and pour into a plastic bowl with tight fitting lid to cool. Careful they are HOT to the touch!
Keep these stored in the bowl for best freshness or in a ziploc bag.

Thank you! I'm off to give this recipe a whirl (need a change from roasted edamame).

Beans are a way of life for me and chickpeas are one of my favourites.

I use S&W 50% less sodium and here are the nutritional facts:

I've made these before and they are good... I recommend them. I've found you do have to be careful and make sure to leave them in the oven long enough so they're done on the inside. That can be a bit tricky...

It's not a great combination to have them crunchy on the outside and mushy on the inside.

Sounds good! I'm getting a bit sick of my dry roasted edamame (I bought a whole case!), so this will be a nice change of pace.
